The Benchtop Shaking Incubator by Jeiotech is a high-performance solution designed for dynamic laboratory environments in South Africa. Offered by Apex Scientific, this compact unit combines shaking and incubation capabilities to maximize space efficiency. Models IST-3075 and 4075 operate from ambient +5°C to 80°C, while IST-3075R and 4075R include cooling functions from ambient -15°C to 80°C. With a shaking speed of up to 500 rpm and a 19 mm orbital motion, it delivers reliable and consistent mixing for demanding tasks.
Performance Features
This shaking incubator includes a microprocessor-based PID control system that ensures precise temperature regulation. The system supports three-point calibration and automatic tuning for improved accuracy. Its brushless DC (BLDC) motor generates a smooth, quiet, and powerful shaking motion. Smooth acceleration and deceleration functions prevent spills, protecting samples during operation. A high-velocity fan helps maintain even temperature distribution and speeds up heat recovery after door openings. Additionally, the air-tight silicone door seal improves thermal stability, which is essential for sensitive experiments.
Safety Mechanisms
The unit resumes operation automatically after a power interruption, ensuring continuity in your experiments. It also issues alerts for deviations in temperature or shaking speed. To safeguard your work, over-current protection and a mechanical over-temperature limiter are built in. Refrigerated models use CFC-free refrigerants, aligning with eco-conscious laboratory practices. Audible and visual alarms notify you when the door remains open, helping to maintain a stable internal environment.
